• Ninja roll

Keys

• Get uke's hips higher than yours.
• Hip control.

Drills

• Paulo Miyao - No-gi Berimbolo #01

Notes

• In No-Gi, it's very difficult / impossible to create upper back exposure against a resisting opponent. No-Gi bolos are more likely to end up in leg drags, leg entanglements, or just sweeps.
